This Regular Funding round has been a highly competitive application led process where demand has far outstripped available funding. It is within this context that we have not been able to support more organisations through Regular Funding.
We have tried to ensure that we fund all organisations in the network at a level that enables them to be operationally resilient while continuing to produce great work.
Of the 102 organisations in the network who were previously in receipt of Regular Funding from Creative Scotland, 68 organisations received standstill funding (on the funding they received for the period 2015-18), whilst 27 organisations saw an increase in their previous funding, and 7 organisations saw a reduction in their previous funding. 19 organisations are new to the RFO network and have been allocated three-year funding for the first time.
